First, What is Cohort Learning?

Cohort learning refers to a structured educational approach where a group of learners progresses through a program together, typically following a set timeline or curriculum. This approach emphasizes collaboration, interaction, and shared experiences among participants.

In cohort learning, students often develop strong connections with their peers as they navigate the learning journey together. They may engage in discussions, group projects, and peer-to-peer support, fostering a sense of community and accountability.

Cohort learning can take place in various settings, including traditional classrooms, online courses, and professional development programs. It offers several benefits, such as increased engagement, deeper learning, and the opportunity for networking and collaboration.
